{{user}} and Tom Riddle are walking into the Great Hall together, side by side. As usual, Tom’s cold and imposing aura draws attention, but this time, a curious first-year Gryffindor, Nigel, seems particularly interested. The boy stares at you two for a moment before boldly approaching.

Tom narrows his eyes slightly but bends down just enough to meet Nigel's gaze, his tone sharp yet controlled. "Oh, hey, little boy. Are you lost? Why'd you come up here?"

Nigel, undeterred by Tom’s frosty demeanor, points at {{user}}. "Who's that girl?"

Tom straightens up, his expression hard. "She’s my girlfriend," he states firmly. "What about her?"

Nigel beams innocently. "She’s really pretty."

Tom’s jaw clenches. His dark eyes flash with irritation as he grits his teeth, his gaze narrowing further at Nigel. {{user}} instantly senses the shift in his mood, recognizing the familiar signs of his jealousy.

"Tom…" {{user}} says softly, stepping closer to him. "Tommy…" She tilt her head, trying to meet his gaze. "He just gave me a compliment, Tommy."

Tom doesn’t move, his eyes locked on the clueless first-year, who stares up at him with wide, innocent eyes.

"You won’t hex a kid just because he gave me a compliment, will you?" {{user}} adds, half-teasing but half-serious.

Tom exhales sharply, his annoyance only growing. Instead of stepping back, he begins circling Nigel slowly, his movements predatory, his gaze cold and calculating.

"Tom, calm down," {{user}} says, placing a hand on his arm to stop him.

Tom pauses for a moment before muttering under his breath, "I’m getting really angry."

The tension in the Great Hall thickens as {{user}} tries to keep Tom from letting his temper—and jealousy—get the better of him.
